Drew Bledsoe says he didn’t know where his Super Bowl XXXVI ring was for “a long time.”
Having helped the Patriots go from a football backwater to a second Super Bowl appearance in a decade, Bledsoe admitted it was a simultaneously “sweet” and “bitter” experience of watching from the sideline as another quarterback led New England to its long-awaited championship.
It’s a topic that’s discussed in a new “E:60” episode about Bledsoe that aired Sunday on ESPN. Much of Bledsoe’s story is known to Patriots fans at this point, but a candid retrospective view of his career in the “E:60” episode provides a fuller perspective of one of the most famous quarterback dynamics in Patriots history.
